# Local Development Server

## Serving an HTML Folder

```
cd my-html-project && go-live
```

{% hint style="info" %}
The index.html file will always be served at the the root as a default.
{% endhint %}

One you're serving the directory, a browser window should pop up, and you will see the server hosting all of the files in the directory, including subdirectories.

To use a different directory, you can the `--dir` flag, like below:&#x20;

```
go-live --dir ./my-html-project/
```

\
All relative URL paths in CSS or JS will work. You should see a server CLI dashboard. Any changes you make are not-cached and a refresh will show the new files.

If the server allows outbound traffic, it is accessible from the internet or other devices on the subnet.
